Water it! But get it into a lot more sun than it's had - what might look bright to you indoors is very dull to a plant, and what looks dull outdoors (to us) is still very much brighter to a plant than indoors.

Not only water it, but soak the entire pot in a bucket or sink until soil is thoroughly soaked. It will take time to rehydrate the soil. After about half hour, let it drain.
Two months is way to long to go without water. Plus, as lucy said more light.

Just to be sure we are talking about the same thing though, you are talking about the bottom of the plant--the part with ROOTS, right? Either way, at this point get some water to it pronto. Sandy

The advice not to water your JC was way off..if the soil was dry, it should have been given a drink.
JC is one of the easiest dracaenas around..And fast-growing, too.
I agree it needs more light..is there anyway you can set closer to the window/s? Even a bright north would do fine. (if plant is sitting in window) 25' away from a window is low-low light. Other than mushrooms, I doubt plants will grow/thrive so far away. How about artificial lighting? Is there any above? Toni

The brown dying part is actually at the top, but I'll start giving it some water right away. I have a spot for it about 5 feet from the south facing window, so I'll move it over there. Thank you everybody!

Violetta, someone told you to "CUT BACK on water till you see signs of growth." That doesn't mean NO water for 2 months!

The reason for cutting back would have been because there were no leaves to draw and evaporate water from. So less water is needed. But the roots and stem still needed to be kept alive= water well, then wait till soil dries.

Hope you can save this one. They are nice plants. If not, you've learned something useful for the next time. Sandy

I think I was waiting for the soil to dry out, and it never happened. :0(

I watered last night and moved it to a sunnier location. Relatively speaking, anyway. Now that the rains have started I doubt we'll see any sun for a while!
